Cincinnati was founded in 1788 by John Cleves Symmes and Colonel Robert Patterson.  Surveyor John Filson (also the author of The Adventures of Colonel Daniel Boone) named it "Losantiville" from four terms, each of a different language, meaning "the city opposite the mouth of the Licking River." "Ville" is French for "city," "anti" is Greek for "opposite," "os" is Latin for "mouth," and "L" was all that was included of "Licking River."

In 1790, Arthur St. Clair, the governor of the Northwest Territory, changed the name of the settlement to "Cincinnati" in honor of the Society of the Cincinnati, of which he was a member. The society honored General George Washington, who was considered a latter day Cincinnatus -- the Roman general who saved his city, then retired from power to his farm. To this day, Cincinnati in particular, and Ohio in general, are home to a disproportionately large number of descendants of Revolutionary War soldiers who were granted lands in the state.

In 1802, Cincinnati was chartered as a village and David Ziegler (1748-1811), a Revolutionary War veteran from Heidelberg, Germany, became the first mayor. Cincinnati was incorporated as a city in 1819. The introduction of steam navigation on the Ohio River in 1811 and the completion of the Miami and Erie Canal helped the city grow to 115,000 citizens by 1850.

Construction on the Miami and Erie Canal began on July 21, 1825, when it was called the Miami Canal, a reference to the Little Miami River, which was its origin, and water was diverted into the canal bed in 1827. The canal began by connecting Cincinnati to nearby Middletown in 1827 and, by 1840, the canal had reached Toledo, changing the Miami Canal to the Miami and Erie Canal and signifying the connection between the Little Miami River and Lake Erie.

Railroads were the next major form of transportation to come to Cincinnati. In 1836, the Little Miami Railroad was chartered. Construction began soon after, with the purpose of connecting Cincinnati with the Mad River and Lake Erie Railroad, and thus the ports of the Sandusky Bay.

On April 1, 1853, Cincinnati's Fire Department became a paid department, the first full-time paid fire department in the United States, and the first in the world to use steam fire engines.

Six years later, in 1859, Cincinnati laid out six streetcar lines, making it easier for people to get around the city. By 1872, Cincinnatians could travel on the streetcar line within the city and then be transported by rail car to the hill communities. The Cincinnati Inclined Plane Company began transporting people to the top of Mount Auburn in that year.

The Cincinnati Red Stockings, eventually known as the Cincinnati Reds, began their career in the 1800s as well. In 1868, meetings were held at the law offices of Tilden, Sherman, and Moulton to make Cincinnati’s baseball team a professional one; it became the first regular professional team in the country, being organized formally in 1869.

During the American Civil War, Cincinnati played a key role as a major source of supplies and troops for the Union Army. It also served as the headquarters for much of the war for the Department of the Ohio, which was charged with the defense of the region, as well as directing the army's offensives into Kentucky and Tennessee. Due to Cincinnati's proximity to and commerce with slave states across the Ohio River, there was significant "Southern sympathy" in the Cincinnati area. This is evidenced by the history of the Copperhead movement in Ohio. In July of 1863, Cincinnati was placed under martial law due to the imminent danger posed by the Confederate Morgan's Raiders who came very close to Cincinnati but never actually attacked the city proper (although it should be noted that several outlying villages such as Cheviot, Ohio fell victim to the Morgan's threat.).

In 1879, Procter & Gamble, one of Cincinnati's major soap manufacturers, began marketing Ivory Soap. It got its appeal because of its ability to float. After a fire at their first factory, Procter & Gamble moved to a new factory on the Mill Creek and began soap production again, which eventually lead to the area being known as Ivorydale.

Cincinnati weathered the Great Depression better than most American cities of its size, largely because of a resurgence of inexpensive river trade. The rejuvenation of downtown began in the 1920s and continued into the next decade with the construction of Union Terminal, the post office, and a large Bell Telephone building. The flood of 1937 was one of the worst in the nation's history, resulting in the building of protective flood walls. After World War II, Cincinnati unveiled a master plan for urban renewal that resulted in modernization of the inner city. Riverfront Stadium and Riverfront Coliseum were completed in the 1970s, as the Cincinnati Reds baseball team emerged as one of the dominant teams of the decade. In December 1979, eleven people were killed in a mass panic prior to a rock-and-roll concert at the Coliseum by the band The Who. In 1989, the 200th anniversary of the city's founding, much attention was focused on the city's Year 2000 plan, which involved further revitalization.

The completion of several major new development projects enhance the city as it enters the early years of the new millennium. Cincinnati's beloved Bengals and Reds teams both have new, state-of-the-art homes: Paul Brown Stadium, opened in 2000; and the Great American Ball Park, opened in 2003, respectively. Two new museums have opened: the Rosenthal Center for Contemporary Art in 2003, and the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center in 2004. With many delays and political setbacks, the City of Cincinnati and Hamilton County are currently planning The Banks--a 24-hour urban neighborhood of restaurants, clubs, offices, and homes with sweeping skyline views, along the city's riverfront. Cincinnati has received such accolades as "Most Liveable City" (1993), Partners for Livable Communities, April 2004; number five U.S. arts destination, American Style Magazine, Summer 2004; was the highest rated city in Ohio for "Best Cities For Young Professionals" and 18th overall, Forbes Magazine, June 2007; and inclusion in the top ten "Cities that Rock," Esquire Magazine, April 2004.  Without Further Adue' GEKETA WE LOVE YOU

I was born in Cincinnati , Ohio May 6th in 1954 at 2:06 p.m.

I  share the same birthday as Israel when it became a state in 1948. I am very proud of this as my heritage is found in the Jewish faith. My name is Cherokee Native American Indian. My mother loved this name she got it from her Brother in laws who is Cherokee and his youngest sister had the same name she asked if they would mind if she used it and they were delighted to share the name it is an honor for me and this women has always treated me as one of her own nieces.

I stayed much of my life with my natural Grandparents until my grandfather passed away when I was seven.

 Then an Aunt and Uncle adopted me and we moved to Georgia .. I went to a wonderful high school had tons of friends and was just a regular kid .. Making a few mistakes landed me with a child at a very young age and so .. school was put on hold until a year later I finished high school and found the market for jobs few I wanted to further my education. I packed up  and moved to Kentucky where my grandmother lived .. started going to a commercial college got a degree in court reporting,  went to work at the court house in Cincinnati and hated it so back to school I went this time to Northern Kentucky University.. that lasted about 2 years and I was invited to take a job as  a roadie for Clear Lite  productions where I had the pleasure to work with many rock and roll bands.  I worked this job for the next 5 years of my life .. Traveling was a passion, but the money neither good nor steady, so I finally took a corporate job with a large construction company where I was presently living at the time in Houston, Texas .. time went on and I struggled with many personal demons..

In 1979 I meet a young man who introduced me to salvation… I learned about Jesus Christ and his salvation to mankind.  finally life had meaning .. I got married had a couple children and divorced moved Freeport Texas. I took a job as a manager with a large pizza chain .. worked there for several years and finally .. had a terrible injury that left me unable to work again I packed up and moved back to Kentucky .. this time I met yet another and got married he and I have been married for nearly 20 years. We have 4 great boys ages 19-16-14- and 12. I have homeschooled each of them and we all love it .. The older girls are all married with two of the oldest ones having lovely girls of their own .. my oldest granddauther will be starting Rice university this coming fall and my middle daughter has two lovely girls as well one is 5 .. ( going on 20 ) and a sweet 8 month old. The girls all in in Texas with their husbands . We live in Central Kentucky on a large wooded farm . It is quite and peaceful . The largest city is Lexington and it is an hours drive away.

I have tried several home based business over the past few years .. none did every well, I owned  Holmanworldwidetravel, but have shut the doors on that and have decided to create my own products and sell those instead. My husband David is a master carpenter and makes all kinds of wood crafts and I also make soy candles and handpoured natural soaps so we are putting up a new site and will be selling our own products as soon as the site goes live. we are hoping to do some wholeselling later once we get it going well. The products will be 100% natural no lead nor fake scents.  Some day when the boys are grown I would  still like to travel around the entire world .. both by ship and air .

.My life has had its up and downs, but life is what we make .. Failure is not an option. We each have choices to make we can get better or bitter .. I have always seen the glass as half full and when I got lemons I turned them into lemonaide. I love people and try to give more each day than I get .. Keep smiling and learn to laugh at yourself is  something  My Grandma used to say and I have learned to do just that .

I love making new friends, hiking, camping and reading. I can't stand liars, thieves and those that think they know it all ..  I don't eat pork, nor shell fish. I also belong to a Messianic Congregation in Lexington we meet on Saturday nites .. I also am a member of the dance troupe.
